Informal poll: what Python stdlib modules need a redesign?

The other day on Twitter I wondered what module from the standard library is in the most need of a redesign. Turns out Jesse Noller wondered the same thing. So I decided to try and find out the answer to this question.

If you have a module(s) in the standard library that you think could stand to get a redesign, go to the Google Moderator page and vote for it (and also feel free to vote down ones you think are totally fine). Do realize this is totally unofficial and has no tie to python-dev at all. This is mostly to satisfy my own curiosity on the topic and to see if my thoughts line up with the community. But who knows, maybe this will inspire people somehow to come up with a new library that can eventually be incorporated into the stdlib and replace some module you really want to see redone.
